Love and marriage: This is the story of the building of the Tabernacle in the desert. G-d so loved His people Israel that He could not bear to wait until they entered the land before they would build for Him a sanctuary. He ordered a temporary, portable sanctuary that would enable Him to dwell among Israel even during their forty year desert sojourn, so that they could begin at once their life together.

Who was Moshe, the “man of G-d?” Agitator for justice, freedom fighter, radical activist who led his people out of Egypt, Moshe is called to the mountain to “ascend to G-d.” He attained a level of G-d awareness unattained by any other before or since, and at Sinai elevated the entire nation with him.

Bread from heaven: What a beautiful way for G-d to show His people how much He loves them! The manna which sustained Israel for forty years in the desert was replaced upon entering the land by bread which sprouts from the earth, a process no less miraculous than manna, and an expression no less poignant of G-d’s love for Israel.
